This straight to tape recording features Chuck Whetstone on lead vocal, Harvell Smith on backup vocal, Chuck & Bruce take turns with the guitar solos, and Lynn York does a great vamp at the end of the song.

Other members of the band [in various years, etc] included Jeff Childs (piano/vocals), Toby England (sax) and Beth Hunt (trumpet/keys). Our sound man who also recorded this song was Art Kleiderer.

The Bootleg album was the first record that I bought of Larry Norman. It is full of classic Norman songs.

You can see Larry on YouTube and various sites.

He has passed away, but he was a great influence for Christian Rock music.

The Rock That Doesn’t Roll – The Lost Tapes Project

I was lost and blind, till a friend of mine came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to His kingdom, which was in another land
Now my life is changed, it’s rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie well he saved my soul
He’s the rock that doesn’t roll

He’s the rock that doesn’t roll He’s the rock that doesn’t roll Well He’s good for the body and great for the soul He’s the rock that doesn’t roll

2. I was all alone, like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed, cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that’s my goal
Like a rock that doesn’t roll

3. I was lost and blind till a friend of mine came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom, that was in another land
Now my mind is blown, my head has grown
A solid rock ain’t a rolling stone
Wowie zowie, well the cat’s got soul
He’s the rock that doesn’t roll
